YOUGHAL UNITED AFC LAST JUNE ACHIEVED SOMETHING NO OTHER IRISH FOOTBALL CLUB HAS ACHEIVED BEFORE, WHEN AT ARDRATH PARK YOUGHAL CO. CORK THEY SHATTERED THE GUINESS BOOK OF RECORDS 5-A-SIDE RECORD WHICH THE STOOD AT 27 HOURS AND 15 MINS BY RECORDING AN INCREDIBLE

We all know that football is full of people who consistently give selflessly of their time and energy over the years to the sport they love but, in some cases, they never get the proper recognition.I would like very much to be given the opportunity to portray such people that come under this category who have represented their clubs with such distinction in the AUL notes on the Evening Echo pages over the coming months.

The following would be some of the criteria that can be used to help identify such people.

1. Someone who has given substantive yet unrecognized contribution for a significant length of time for their club and sport.2. Someone who has maintained the drive over the years who goes that extra mile to make all the difference.3. Someone who was the driving force behind many of the significant projects and objectives for their club over the years.

But, in general, you the clubs will be the best judges as to who your unsung hero or heroes really are.

If you think you have someone at your club who fits this criteria and who has NOT got previous recognition, please let me know and I will arrange to have him\her profiled on the Evening Echo pages – sometime in the near future.

SENDING IN RESULTS:Here’s a couple of points to note when sending results into me.

1. If at all possible, can you please include the player’s names that got the goals – in the order they scored and if possible include the times (roughly). The more information the better and always remember that players like to be acknowledged for their efforts – especially when they score.

2. Please send as much detail as possible whether by text or e-mail.

3. As I am attending matches like yourselves on Saturdays and Sundays, please allow for 1 hour approx after games before contacting me as I am driving home from games and unable to take notes. Otherwise, feel free to text me with as much detail as possible or e-mail.

4. Note: these pages on the Evening Echo are really for you the clubs so, avail of every opportunity to utilise them. Please feel free to contact me anytime you want sponsorship exposure publicised - be it write-ups, photographs etc.

Finally, thanks so much to all the clubs that are helping to make the usual editorials possible from week to week by submitting details of your games.To those who have not made a contribution, it is never too late and you are more then welcome to do so now.I will do my best to make room for everyone.

The Irish team, turning to face the flag for the anthem, caught the TV lads offside

REPUBLIC OF IRELAND 1 FRANCE 3

Could use all the usually adjectives associated
with the French, such as style and class, to describe their 3-1 win over Ireland
in last night's UEFA Women's EURO 2013 group game at Turner's Cross. For sure,
they had class and style but mainly they had skill and that was the major
factor in an easy win for the recent World Cup semi finalists.

Ireland were game and Fiona O’Sullivan’s first half header almost got
in. But France continued to dominate after the break and went three up. We
fought all the way but, in normal time, only a couple of astonishingly long
throws by Megan Campbell and a few runs by popular sub Denise O'Sullivan
bothered the visitors before the deserved consolation came in injury time.

Amazingly RTE, who had a report
in Morning Ireland today about the under-reporting of women's sport, managed to
sum up this international in half a sentence in the Sports Report and failed to
mention the result at all in Aertel or on the website. Poor form.

Just heard from the FAI's Emma Martin with a gentle reminder of the big game coming up this Thursday in Turners Cross.

"We would urge every football lover..man woman or child.. to support the Girls in Green especially our own Cork girl Denise O'Sullivan. There is a meet and greet the players in Douglas Village Shopping Centre this afternoon at 4pm, everybody welcome."

So there you are, one last big push for promoting the Women’s Senior International v France this coming Thursday. Emma is really looking to getting a big crowd, so please spread the word as much as possible. "They’ve gotten off to a great start with a 2-0 win over Wales, Cork’s U17 star Denise scoring both goals on her Senior debut! Let’s get behind the girls, it’s going be a tough game against the French who were World Cup semi-finalist. A great opportunity for everyone in Munster to get out and support the Girls in Green."

Midleton FC in conjunction with the FAI are proud to announce that a Football for All programme will begin on Saturday 17th September at Knockgriffin Park at 3pm.

The Programme will provide children with Cerebral Palsy, Dyspraxia, Deafness, Visual Impairments and Intellectual disabilities the opportunity to play football for their local team and enjoy some meaningful competition against other FFA clubs

Midleton's Mick Kirby (above): "We at the club are very pleased to have been given the opportunity to support this community initiative in a practical way."

With reference to the above game we would like to alert you to a special offer which would allow your club to attend this vital EURO 2012 Qualifier in Aviva Stadium. This exclusive offer is available costing €500 for 50 tickets, the breakdown as follows:-
